I know you would rather be right, but you are not. You sir, are the beholder of ignorance. You know Ms Garris is doing a great job and you can’t stand it. Get off your soap box and bother someone else. From what I see, she has implemented changes to better serve the citizens of Beaufort County and customers. I hope the voters are paying attention to all the lies and misinformation you spread.

John none of this has anything to do with the keeping of books. It all has to do with Hood’s vendetta against Carolyn Garris. He is just a bully.

THose who want to put deed records on computers remind me of those who insist on using voting machines, which are corruptable, instead of paper ballots. Computerized records are fine as a convenience for those offsite, but permanent records should be hard copy of critical documents.
That said, the real problem in the Register of Deeds office is a space problem, which has been called to the attention of the county commission several years ago by the previous Register of Deeds. Even space for more computer terminals would be a space problem. At one time, it was thought that the old Seaboard Savings and Loan building would go to the Register of Deeds for more space, but the county manager gave that to the finance department instead.

Time to give up your antiquated ways Mr Richards and realize it is the Twentifirst century. We all know this is about your reelection coming up in 2024. We The People are tired of your Narcissistic Buddy tactics. Remember your voters are watching,

She didn't seize power. She did something you didn't like. Dial it down.

In order to dispel misinformation being pushed, all deeds are being recorded in the Beaufort County Register of Deeds office. Whether they are received electronically or over the counter, they all go through the same process. Papers are recorded if they meet all standards. During the September meeting and jail committee meeting you were stating more space was needed and even talked about a new building. In October, you changed your mind. During the 2018-2019 capital improvement meeting, the previous register requested a new building, and it was unfunded. She stated there was 2 to 3 years of space left. If you would just take time to ask questions instead of spreading misinformation, you would have a better understanding of the process. I am very proud of the staff and this department. Many things have been updated and upgraded to better serve the needs of the citizens. I am happy to supply any information you need. Best regards.

As the person elected to the office of register of deeds, the register takes an oath to “execute the duties of the office of register of deeds.” G.S. 11-11. Accordingly, in discretionary matters, the register must make decisions in a manner that the register determines best meets the public interest in register of deeds functions. By statute, commissioners have authority over specific matters regarding the register of deeds office, including the register’s budget, hours of operation, and location of the office. By giving the commissioners authority over specific matters, and the register general authority over and responsibility for the office, the statutes can best be interpreted as intending for discretionary matters to be entrusted to the register.

(The email is a public record if anyone would like a copy.)
Please see below from Chales Szypszak, UNC School of Government. It is my understanding that the ROD is participating in the State microfilm backup program and is therefore compliant with G.S. 132-8.2 for preservation of backup copies of real estate records. As noted in his e-mail, “a paper backup would not be compliant.”
